Just got news that my electricity company had a data breach and some of my personal info has been stolen. This includes government id and bank details…

What can I do to protect myself from harm?

    You have some good responses so far.

    Seconding freezing your credit.

    Seconding changing all your passwords and using a password manager and literally everything else here.

    The only thing I’m not seeing is to talk to your family about common scams and how to avoid them or be aware of them. You’ll start getting spam calls and emails now, and they’ll look pretty sophisticated. Be circumspect of everything coming your way.
